Pretty cool looking.

I wanted to go to the local car group's cruise in tonight. However, I was home yesterday with a sick kiddo and he seems to have given me his cold.

Sucks! I ache all over and feel like someone took a bat to the side of my head. Throat feels like it's on fire also.

I was supposed to be at an Aikido seminar for a couple of hours last night and for about four hours today but said screw it. At least I got to train under the seminar instructor on Thursday night for about two and a half hours since he is a living legend in the Aikido world.
 
No, not the same one. This one is a Plymouth body and Chevy drive train. Tonight was the first time off of the block where he lives. Didn't sound as mean as it looks but still was sweet.

Above the windshield in front of the driver was a window crank with arrows and up and down. I found out the windshield rolls up about 2" and will direct fresh aid thru a vent to the floor or straight back. All factory.....

The guys wife says the grille is fiberglass that he left grinder filings lay on and painted over the rusty results for the old look. That was a good job there.

Doors didn't hit the exhaust. Had a strap to stop them.
 
Not bad; IMO though he needs to be channeled about 2" to drop the body down more & level it out. And also chop the top at least 4". The proportions look "off" to me. Plus taller tires would help.

And did she say what year of grill shell it was? It looks like the original metal one that I just picked up Saturday. I was told is was a 35' Ford shell. The patina on it is AWESOME. I'll get a picture of it.
 
The owner says if he chops the top any more, his head will stick out the top....

I really thought the grill was a 33 Ford but his wife says it was a fiber glass copy of the late 20's car.

He would like to drop it about two more inches but says he scrapes in and out of his driveway now.
